How can I reverse a stack?

I need to write a VB.NET code to reverse the given characters using a stack. Input: 'S','T','A','C','K'

So far I have input the letters, but I don't know how to get the console to reverse it. I'm a beginner to programming so please excuse my ignorance.

An explanation as to how it's done would also be greatly appreciated.

What I got so far.

Module Module1

Sub Main()
    Dim StackObject As New Stack
    StackObject.Push("S")
    Console.WriteLine(StackObject.Peek)
    StackObject.Push("T")
    Console.WriteLine(StackObject.Peek)
    StackObject.Push("A")
    Console.WriteLine(StackObject.Peek)
    StackObject.Push("C")
    Console.WriteLine(StackObject.Peek)
    StackObject.Push("K")
    Console.WriteLine(StackObject.Peek)
End Sub

End Module

I just need it to be reversed.

I got it!!

Module Module1

Sub Main()
    Dim StackObject As New Stack
    StackObject.Push("S")
    StackObject.Push("T")
    StackObject.Push("A")
    StackObject.Push("C")
    StackObject.Push("K")

    For Each cur As String In StackObject
        Console.WriteLine(cur)
    Next
End Sub

End Module

That's how it's done开发者_如何转开发.

Say you had a stack of plates:

1
2
3
4
5

To reverse them, you take the first plate off, then drop it onto a new pile

2
3
4
5 1

Then you take the next plate off and drop it on the pile.

3
4 2
5 1

Repeat!

Pseudo-code (I really don't know VB.NET):

While (not end-of-input) Do Stack.Push(ReadNextInputChar); 

While (not Stack.IsEmpty) Do WriteCharToOutput(Stack.Pop);

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim StackObject As New Stack
        StackObject.Push("S")
        StackObject.Push("T")
        StackObject.Push("A")
        StackObject.Push("C")
        StackObject.Push("K")

        For Each cur As String In StackObject
            Console.WriteLine(cur)
        Next
    End Sub
End Module

I'm not sure about the VB syntax, But this is how we can proceed to reverse a stack. This is in-place too. (it makes use of recursion)

void appendToStack (std::stack<int> &stk, int newElement)
{
    if (stk.empty())
        stk.push(newElement);
    else
    {
    int oldElement = stk.top();
    stk.pop();
    appendToStack (stk, newElement);
    stk.push (oldElement);
    }
}

void reverseStackInplace (std::stack<int> &stk)
{
    if (stk.empty())
        return;
    int element = stk.top();
    stk.pop();
    reverseStackInplace(stk);
    appendToStack (stk, element);
}
